In the past few days, a mountainous area on China's northwest plateau has been hit by heavy snow. A special equipment transport regiment of the Secondary Artillery Force (SAF) immediately took advantage of the weather condition to put dozens of its heavy-duty vehicles through a number of drills, such as rapid trans-shipment and environmental testing, etc. in maneuver. By adopting flexible training methods, the regiment has enabled its troops to boost their all-weather operational capability.

　　The reporter saw at the drilling site that a convoy of fully equipped special equipment transport vehicles was moving sluggishly along a rugged mountain road. Suddenly, dozens of special equipment transport vehicles at the front came to a sudden halt due to "enemy" harassment. The commander promptly activated the emergency operational plan to let the emergency anti-riot element rush to the site to remove the obstacles.

　　When the convoy reached a certain mountain pass, a driver reported that the chassis of his heavy-duty vehicle was seriously damaged by "enemy's" attack. The commander immediately ordered the crane to lift the equipment shelter off the damaged vehicle, and in less than 3 minutes, the equipment shelter weighing several tons was firmly fastened onto another vehicle, and the convoy resumed its journey.

　　In order to boost the mobile capability of its troops, the regiment takes the special equipment transport training under various adverse natural conditions, such as strong wind, heavy rain, heavy snow and thunderstorm, as important contents of its special equipment transport training. By taking full advantage of complex and changeable weather conditions in its stationed frigid plateau area, the troops of this regiment have, through rigorous training, built up the first-rate all-weather operational capability.
